How To Know If You Need A Dental Crown

Does one of your teeth feel worn down or sensitive when you chew? Maybe you’ve had a filling for years, or part of the tooth chipped unexpectedly. When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still healthy enough to save, a dental crown is often the best next step. A crown works like a protective cap, covering the visible portion of the tooth. It reinforces the structure, prevents further damage, and blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.
